Additional FQDNs can be added if required:

dropdb database && createdb database
gunzip < database.sql.gz | psql database

Google Analytics
March 20, 2019 at 6:16pm (Edited 4 months ago)
I'm implementing Google Analytics to Reach Router running inside a React Static app (hence checking if the document exists).

This seems to be working, but if I console.log the pageview attributes, they get logged twice on each page visit. What's causing this?

// My Analytics component
import React from "react";
import { Location } from "@reach/router";

Compiled EmberJS App in Docker

The biggest problem deploying compiled EmberJS apps as a container is the configuration defined during compile time and becomes part of the image. Which is not ideal as you probably want to move the image between QA/UAT and prod without any modification.

The solution I will describe here looks like a hack but it's been working for me.

1. I put config <meta> tag into index.html:
